For those that do not understand the implications of primes on real world situations:

Its quite comical to think they are useless and don't tie to any benefit once you fully understand. The implications are yet out of our grasp much like parts of space research and particle physics. But the more patterns and links between primes are found, the closer we are to cracking the seamingly random nature of the numbers. Why does this matter? Many things in the natural world use primes - but why and how they know are not yet understood. So it has a close connection to understanding some of the natural laws of our world.

Two in a row! To bad the second one has been improved twice already and not by me

Happy to know Dirk likes primecoin and I just sent him a note. I have also contacted Henri and Jens as well

Most people only know about the largest known prime record (aka the k=1 record on Jens' list) which is dominated by GIMPS (Mersennes). That's why Jens' record book is important so that people realize that Mersennes are not the only primes of interest to mathematicians.
